The art market is cooked.

🎶 Won't go away, treaty won't go away.🎶

I never do sales, but I'm doing a big Christmas sale this year! Shop #kikorangi local, support an artist, and give unique gifts that always hit with their recipient! Get in and snag bundle deals, marked down tees, and restocked items that were previously sold out: pepperraccoon.com/collections/...

Has anyone got any advice on breaking a commercial lease?

One cubic meter ain't shit in this throwaway culture. Inorganic rubbish collection used to be a real one, now... well, it's pretty clear to me why illegal dumping is a huge problem...

I wonder if Labour sees any parallels in the moderate centrist Democrats who are being eaten alive in the media for their actions in caving to the Republicans over the govt shutdown, or if they even have that capacity for awareness.

I feel like there’s an easier way to write about this mess. Gist is, sexual predator assumed Police culture of covering up problematic men would cover him and it didn’t. Thank fuck? It’s not to tar them all but… this is why. This is why bro. Police have never felt safe.

This is the first time I’ve seen the gaps and pitfalls of the creative professions discussed in this way.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

The seasonal references might be entirely inappropriate for the tropics, and the capitalist fever dream that is the festive season is so problematic, but at least his skin colour is right... #Fiji #Blanta 📷: Peter Sipeli

“Not caring anymore doesn’t mean the problem is no longer there. Especially in the Pacific, where climate change isn’t a distant threat but a present-day catastrophe already uprooting communities, unravelling the fine tapestry of culture, and upending entire ways of life.” — Jamie Tahana.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Still agitated about the brazen erasure of Ōtara in the Local Board swearing in of the newest, most inexperienced members last night. But today is a full moon, and the moon is in Taurus, so this bull will let go of this bullSHIT and start strategising and dreaming of alternative realities. #Ōtara

Content creators are adamant in this era, that genuine engagement with your audience requires vulnerability. But the Internet is in its state surveillance era, mining our data for corporations to leverage our own creativity for their algorithms. So tell me how being more human is gonna work. Curious

Just watched 7 men and 0 women get inducted as the 2025-2028 Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board with the 4 inexperienced Indian business owners rejecting even the prospect of a split term of the Chair position. A total domination of #Papatoetoe was actually vulgar to witness. Shame on Papatoetoe Action.

A fucking shit show! Ōtara representatives are being completely blocked from leadership of the the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board by a new bloc of 100% inexperienced, single-issue representatives from Papatoetoe. They vote tonight at their first Board meeting and this is going to be fucking messy.

When people openly lament & agonise about feeling so full from eating a meal, as if their behaviour of eating food including a dessert was a failure of their judgement or a perceived standard, I dunno man… I feel like fat phobia has perverted our ability to just eat and feel satiated…

I love returning to environments that cultivate safety and liberation for fat bodies.

I've been writing an exegesis for the past year with no help from generative AI, and I'm mentally exhausted, but also sharper, richer (in more fulfilling ways than financially) and feel like any writing blocks I had before have been broken down. But... I did get help with the title lol

there is a crucial distinction between living and merely existing. remember: the walking dead is not just a tv show, it's a lifestyle choice.
